Honest reviews from property owners who chose B. Haney and Sons Arborists for their tree care needs.
"Good tree work overall. The trimming and pruning was excellent and the trees look great. Cleanup could have been a little more thorough — found a few stray branches the next morning — but the actual tree work was top-notch and we will use them again."
"Hazardous tree removal on a leaning oak threatening our house. Crew arrived on time with proper equipment, rigged everything down in sections, and the property was completely safe the entire time. Great communication from quote through cleanup."
"B. Haney and Sons did a tree transplant for us — moved a young Japanese maple from one part of the yard to a better spot. The tree came through the move in great shape and is leafing out beautifully this spring. Real arborist work, not just chainsaw work."
